First-install notes

  • Run init.sh first From the Snikket folder, run ./scripts/init.sh and enter your domain, admin email, and Let's Encrypt terms agreement. It creates the settings needed by start.sh and allows HTTPS certificates to be generated. source
  • Start the service Run ./scripts/start.sh after init succeeds; the login page loads at http://<your domain> and should switch to HTTPS once certificates are available. If it asks to run init.sh, do that first because the stack is not configured yet. source
  • Create your admin account Run ./scripts/new-invite.sh --admin --group default and open the link it prints to choose a username and password. This gives you a login at <username>@<domain>, without which you cannot use the service. source

Common questions

How is Alaz deployed in Kubernetes?

Alaz is installed as a DaemonSet eBPF agent on the Kubernetes cluster and collects traces directly from Linux kernels.

Does Alaz require sidecars, instrumentation, or service restarts?

No. The source says there is no need for sidecars, instrumentations, or service restarts.

What exposed URL settings must be changed in the self-hosted install?

Change the protocol and URL to match your exposed URL. The example changes http to https and uses a ngrok-free URL.

What does the announcement say about the Alaz UI?

It says the UI visualizes data, but the provided text is cut off before stating what else it provides.
